I’ve been trying to find an #internal #documentation tool that @oaf can use for nearly half a year now. I have been looking at (and am really eager) to try slab.com - but I can’t seem to get a hold of anyone either via their LiveChat or via email.
Shouting out into the Fediverse - does anyone know how to connect with the folks at #slab, or if they are still operational? If not, can you suggest any alternatives?
Has anyone had any experience with #Odoo (https://www.odoo.com) in Australia at all? Trying to see if it’s worth consolidating a number of functions (timesheets, HRIS, CRM/donor management and knowledge management) into a single platform.
@gusseting @oaf more info if you’re interested: https://github.com/openaustralia/theyvoteforyou/issues/1575
I’ve manually applied the fix, the regular nightly update should complete with no errors (hopefully).

Do you know anyone with fundraising experience who would be willing to donate their time?
If so, put them in touch with me!
@gusseting @kattekrab interesting perspective. I’m drafting an AI policy at the moment to govern how it’s used at @oaf - balancing the potential benefits with the obvious risks/downsides.
From a practical level, what’s the alternative? I was looking at GitLab as a possible option but so many of our services assume GitHub.
@gusseting @oaf @kattekrab They Vote for You focuses on the voting record so you can compare what a politician says with what what they posted.
Creating a policy is possible via the site, but appears to be restricted to OAF staff. I’ll get our resident TVFY champion to see if we can create a Gaza ceasefire policy.
@gusseting @oaf @kattekrab The requirement to have a formal vote (known as a “Division”) is set in the Standing Orders - all that needs to happen is for our elected representatives to change the Standing Orders.
As for what you can do - make your voice heard (and encourage others to make their voices heard). Highlight that you can’t support a politician when you don’t know their full voting record.
